I've tried many different brands over the years until i found Ruffwear grip tex boots. they actually are the easiest to put on, stay on so you dont lose one while out somewhere, and completely protect my dogs' paws from hot pavement, sharp debris on ground, de-icer melt in winter etc. I have one pair that has been used regularly by 3 different german shepherds at least 3 days a week on pavement and they are not worn out, just nicely broken in :) and comfortable for them. my dogs seem to appreciate them and stand easily for them to be put on.
